About CRDB Bank PLC

CRDB Bank PLC is one of Tanzania’s leading financial institutions in terms of assets, loans and advances, and customer deposits. The Bank provides a wide range of banking and financial services and has ambitions to expand its presence across the East African region.

Position: Solution Analyst

Job Purpose

The Solution Analyst will be responsible for translating complex banking and business requirements into technically viable, secure, integration-ready and implementation-ready solution designs before software development begins.

The position requires an experienced software engineering professional with strong backend development experience, extensive banking-domain knowledge and a broad understanding of application architecture, APIs, integration, databases, security, DevOps, CI/CD, containers, observability and production deployment.

The successful candidate will work across Business, Product, Software Engineering, Enterprise Integration, Solution Architecture, Cybersecurity, Quality Engineering and Platform Engineering teams.

The role covers the complete technical analysis and solution-definition lifecycle, including:

• Business problem analysis and requirements gathering.

• Existing system analysis and gap assessment.

• Business rules definition.

• Application and integration design.

• Non-functional requirements (NFRs).

• Interface contracts.

• Data and security requirements.

Key Responsibilities

1. Business and Banking Domain Analysis

• Understand business problems, customer journeys, banking processes, regulatory requirements, operational models and expected business outcomes.

• Challenge incomplete or technically unrealistic requirements before they proceed to design and development.

2. Technical Requirements Engineering

• Translate business requirements into detailed functional, technical, integration, data, security and non-functional requirements.

• Ensure requirements can be implemented and validated by architects, Quality Engineering (QE) and platform engineering teams.

3. Application Analysis and Design

• Analyse existing applications, services, source-code behaviour, databases, interfaces and dependencies.

• Define application components, processing logic, business rules, system states, validations, error handling and system interactions.

4. Integration and API Design

• Define APIs, service contracts, events, queues and message structures.

• Design orchestration, synchronous and asynchronous workflows, error handling, retries, timeouts, idempotency and reconciliation processes.

• Identify integration dependencies.

5. Application and API Gap Analysis

• Determine whether existing applications, APIs and services can meet business requirements before recommending new development.

• Identify capability gaps, reuse opportunities, technical constraints and necessary system changes.

6. Backend and Engineering Feasibility

• Apply practical software development experience to assess whether proposed solutions are technically implementable.

• Engage developers at code and component level where necessary.

• Identify technical complexity and implementation challenges before development begins.

7. Data and Persistence Design

• Define data entities, relationships, ownership and persistence requirements.

• Establish transaction boundaries, data validation, audit requirements, retention and application-level data flows in collaboration with architecture and data teams.

8. Secure by Design

• Define authentication, authorisation, Identity and Access Management (IAM), OAuth2/OIDC, service-to-service security, encryption, secrets management, API security and auditability requirements.

• Ensure security requirements are incorporated during solution definition rather than introduced after development.

9. Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)

• Establish measurable requirements for availability, performance, scalability, resilience, recoverability, capacity, security, observability and maintainability.

• Ensure these requirements can be verified by engineering and Quality Engineering teams.

10. DevOps and CI/CD Pipelines

– Work with engineering and DevOps teams to ensure proposed solutions are compatible with source control, GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, security scanning, artifact management and controlled deployment practices.

11. Observability and Operability

• Ensure solution designs include logging, metrics, tracing, correlation IDs, alerting, audit events, operational dashboards and support requirements.

• Ensure solutions can be effectively monitored and operated in production.

12. Solution Architecture and Documentation

• Provide validated solution definitions through solution architecture engagements.

• Incorporate deployment, runtime and non-functional requirements to ensure implementation and operational readiness.

• Produce implementation-ready documentation, including process flows, sequence diagrams, component interactions, state models, interface specifications, API requirements, data mappings, business rules, error scenarios and traceability.

13. Technical Leadership and Mentorship

• Review work produced by other Solution Analysts.

• Coach and mentor junior analysts.

• Improve the overall technical quality of analysis and solution design across the team.
